One of the things that drive me like 4/10 crazy is people just taking it for trivially true that social media and smartphones are bad for us, while like all studies show incredibly mixed and inconsistent results

Grumpy from Disney's Snow White and the 7 dwarves.

Let's talk about "grumpy lab person". Many labs have them. With an eye to keeping science at its most rigorous, they cross the line into criticism that's too harsh. They are the ones who risk killing your scientific spirit. They are reviewer 2. /1

Oh, this would have come in handy when the only question I got at a big conference was whether I'd heard of circular correlation and I had to say no 😂

I am totally not upset that this whole call happened two months earlier than any of the previous years because that's a completely reasonable thing
